I used the Clean & Simple FTL#90 (again) this week for a card I had to send out. Sadly, it was for an unexpected death of a pet. I used some bone and pawprint brads plus some pawprint ribbon and a Hero Arts sentiment. On the inside of the card, I added my favorite passage when it comes to dealing with the loss of a beloved pet:

Fragile Circle

We, who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own, live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached. Unable to accept its awful gaps, we still would live no other way. We cherish memory as the only certain immortality, never fully understanding the necessary plan. - Irving Townsend

Very nice! I love all the doggie embellishments. What a wonderful sentiment you used inside. I hope this brings some comfort to your friend. We have lost 2 pets (a parrot that I had for over 12 years and my daughter's beta fish that she had 3 years) in the last few months.
